- Abstract
- The automotive industry is considered one of the largest sources of revenue for Thailand. However, with the recent acceleration of electric vehicle’s technological development around the world, the Thai government was concerned that the domestic automotive sector might be at risk of losing its competitive edge since the whole supply chain in the automotive industry is centred around products based on the research and manufacturing of internal combustion engine vehicles. Therefore, the Electric Vehicles Committee of Thailand was formed by the government to support and promote the transition of the automotive industry towards an electric vehicles economy. However, the complexity and sheer size of the Thai automotive industry; both in terms of the supply chain of physical products and the amount of information being exchanged among public and private stakeholders have made the adoption process of public policies extremely strenuous. This research aims to facilitate and quicken the process by designing a policy framework for the adoption of public policies within a smaller segment of the electric bus industry and use it as a possible model for the development of the Thai electric vehicles industry in the future. This framework consisted of integrated tools and concepts from engineering management perspective, combined with the data which was collected from the researchers, manufacturers, and stakeholders in Thailand. The main objective of the framework is to assist the initial stage of public policies initiation in electric bus research, manufacturing, and requisition, which will ultimately cultivate the development of the electric bus manufacturing industry in Thailand. Moreover, this policy framework could also be applied to other segments of public policy, or even in the formulation of operational strategy in both public and private organisations.
